Tide To Go Instant Stain Remover By Willow on Dec 28, 2007 - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I call this product my magic stick and do not travel without it. I take it with me when I am eating out, too. The stick is the size of a thick pencil, so it easily fits in a purse, and it comes in very handy if I, or someone around me, happen to spill food on our clothes. I used to get upset about staining my clothes - not anymore. This magic stick works on most food and drink stains, removing them quickly and without a trace. All you do is press the tip to the stain, releasing some of the cleaning solution, and then gently rub it. Then you just let the spot air dry, and the stain will be gone.

One thing to remember is to avoid exposing a freshly treated spot to direct sunlight because it might cause discoloring. If you cannot avoid it, the manufacturer recommends wiping off the excess solution. I usually do that, and I have never had any of my clothes discolored.

I have used this stain remover to clean away coffee, ketchup, and even soy sauce. Like I said, it works like magic.
